FAQ
The app stops working after a while
This is related to the device you are using and isn't an issue with the app. Make sure battery optimisations for the app are disabled.
How can I make the custom status bar transparent?
As stated in the app, this is not possible. The custom status bar overlays the original status bar, but there is no way to hide the original status bar. There is no fix for this.
Nothing happens when I try and open an app with a gesture or when tapping the ticker text
If you are using MIUI, make sure the "Display pop-up while in background" permission is granted. You can find this by opening Super Status Bar in the app list in the Settings app.
I have purchased Premium, but the Premium features are still locked
For some reason Google hasn't synced your purchase yet.
It usually fixes itself after you update your apps in the Play Store by: Tapping the account button at the top right, then tapping 'Manage apps and device', then either updating your apps or tapping 'All apps up to date' and then tapping 'Check for updates'.
I cant enable the Accessibility Service
If a toast message is appearing saying that an app is blocking the dialog, make sure you disable the Draw Overlay permissions for all apps before enabling the Accessibility Service.
If you cant see the app in the list, tap 'More downloaded services' or similar.
Otherwise, try restarting your device.
I've granted the permissions but I can't enable the app (or nothing happens when it is enabled)
Restarting your device should fix this. If it doesn't, try reinstalling the app.
How do I hide the notification in the notification panel for the app
Long press the notification to hide it
Auto brightness is turned off when I change the brightness
Unfortunately Android does not let apps change the auto brightness level all of the time. You can try enabling the "Allow changing auto brightness" option in Extras, but this may not work due to Android limitations.
